 Safaga Port

Numerous hotels in Port Safaga and in proximity to Safaga Airport offer organized excursions to Mons Claudianus and Mons Porphyrites, located north of Hurghada. These sites were historically significant for the Romans, who extracted porphyry, a rare crystalline marble in white and purple hues, often utilized in the creation of sarcophagi.

For those visiting Egypt, this is an excellent opportunity to experience the pleasant climate of Safaga, with its stunning white sandy beaches, radiant sunshine, and inviting blue waters. Visitors can also partake in diving activities and enjoy the warm weather of the Red Sea through day tours from Hurghada, the nearest city with air travel options to Luxor. This allows for exploration of the archaeological treasures of ancient Egypt via Luxor day tours. Additionally, one of the finest ways to appreciate the remarkable beaches is by visiting Sharm el-Sheikh through organized excursions, which feature some of the best coastal experiences in Egypt and are regarded as part of the country's luxury tourism offerings.

Safaga Travel Information
